The Ojibwe are the most populous tribe in North America. Niinaabe is the Ojibwe term for mermaids whilst the Bwaananasbkwe is the clan that represent water spirits.
As the sea nurtures people from all walks of life, mermaids appear in past myths and folklore from around the world. Long before European settlers came to the new world, bringing their tales of mermaids with them, the Indigenous folk across Turtle Island already knew about the fish people who lived in their oceans, rivers and lakes and brought medicine to the Anishinaabe people. Nanaaboozhoo, a half demi God/human deity, fell in love with the mermaid and the remnants of their union gave us copper, the big drum, hand drum, the pipe, and the rattle. The birch bark canoe is adorned with ancient symbols of a canoe, an underwater panther (Mishipeshu), and two giant serpents (chi'gnebikoog) based upon pictographs from Agawa Rock, Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada while an Anishinaabe Thunderbird (Aanimkii-benishiinh)graces the sky.
